Summary
Callum Hibbert is a Distinguished Engineer with 13 years’ hands-on experience building high-volume e-commerce and fintech platforms, currently shaping architecture at Zopa Bank. He specialises in API-first, event-driven microservice architectures that reliably process millions of transactions at peak, having driven major replatforms at ASOS, Moonpig and Tandem where his designs removed business risk during the busiest trading days. Comfortable translating product and regulatory needs into scalable technical strategy, he combines deep .NET and cloud (AWS/Azure) expertise with pragmatic operational ownership across the full SDLC. A strategic, delivery-focused leader, he has repeatedly stood up multi-team engineering programmes, governed multi-account cloud estates and selected core commerce vendors to align tech with commercial goals. Not obvious from titles: he routinely applies policy-as-code and proactive governance (e.g., Cloud Custodian patterns) to reduce risk and control OpEx while enabling rapid innovation.
